ok i read the previous thread and since it was 3 years old i would like to know if anyone since then has used one of these valves and any results

for reference, here is the link to the valve:

This is a great concept, but obviously will only work on twin scroll turbo's. Also I imagine this wouldn't work too well if you had a fully divided twin scroll exhaust manifold, as you'd be completely blocking off three of your exhaust runners. If I ever go to a larger (twin scroll) turbo, I'll be looking into getting one of these.

You need an open (non twin scroll) manifold along with a twin scroll turbo.

Mate has one on his supra and swears by it not sure what size turbo it is other than f**king huge precision and it spools by 4000 and pulls right thru to 8500 running 20psi As to where itd spool without it who knows but he is areal happy with it compared to his old t4 setup (yea no real facts in that statement but positive feedback lol)

thats the kind of feedback i was after!

would you be able to find out what manifold he is running and what gate size as well as model of precision?

i would appreciate that info greatly!

=)

that would be a cool comparison to see. But using a twin scroll turbo and normal highmount manifold sounds kind of backwards, you would lose some top end power VS a true TS system. So you would want this 'quick spool' valve to really work down low

I would think this is a rudimentary way of achieving what a VNT turbo is doing.

Ideally would work but would be prone to failures

Seen heaps of YouTube clips of it working

when i looked at these maybe 5 months ago i found allot failures

generally failure occurs were the were the 2 rivets on the flapper mount to the arm

results were comparable to just running a normal twin scroll manifold the quick spool valve had better results on larger turbos 72mm and up from what i found

i have a thread on here floating around some were

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
